Truth. Thankfully she just got honored for her writing. They skipped over Mariah Carey (purposefully. She is the Leonardo DiCaprio of music artist; serious talent, but ignored because they do not bend to the industries will. The industry wants puppets, not real artist). Now Mariah, that is one chick that does not get enough credit!
